Will Patriot Mike Lee finally get his Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, S. 386 passed?

Will Biden approve of this and replace some of the white, liberal high tech workers in Silicon Valley? There are alot of skilled immigrants who should be in California contributing. I think Biden is the guy to finally get this approved and give them that opportunity.

I noticed he put "not more than 85% shall be allocated to immigrants from a single country". Good idea, spread that last 15% around.

Introduced in Senate (02/07/2019)
Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019

This bill increases the per-country cap on family-based immigrant visas from 7% of the total number of such visas available that year to 15%, and eliminates the 7% cap for employment-based immigrant visas. It also removes an offset that reduced the number of visas for individuals from China.

The bill also establishes transition rules for employment-based visas from FY2020-FY2022, by reserving a percentage of EB-2 (workers with advanced degrees or exceptional ability) and EB-3 (skilled and other workers) visas for individuals not from the two countries with the largest number of recipients of such visas. Of the unreserved visas, not more than 85% shall be allotted to immigrants from any single country.

Probably not.

The Democrats seek welfare-dependent immigrants who are uneducated and know no good english.

The idea of bringing in educated immigrants with skills that know English from places like Korea and India, just doesn't meet their needs.
